Found My Old Diary.

Today I read through an old diary which I kept between August 2007 and June 2008 when I was 15. It felt strange to read about the thoguhts and problems I had then....as if they were someone else's stories. Not just that my whole life has changed since then (and I'm more than happy about that), it's also the way I write that has changed a lot. At some parts I don't know how I could be so naive while at other points I'm surprised how ironic I was about myself and the world. Some entries even embarrassed me. I don't know how I could think in that way anymore and I even thought of getting rid of the diary because I'm afraid that someone will read it some day.
Anyway it was a good idea to read through it because it shows me that I've also achieved something since then. How about you ? Does it feel strange to read old diaries, or maybe letters, stories, ....?

I used to keep a journal until last year... when i was in school, i loved writing, and i believed that someday i would write a story about my life, so i started writing in my school homework books so i don't forget a single thing!
my stepmother at that time was a real *****, so...

In that moment, one that changed my life,
I recall the sharp, silver blade of the knife.
The nervous pain I felt inside,
The way I stayed up all night and cried.
It was never meant to be this way,
But then again what do they say?
Once a cutter, you're always one,
Your actions...
